With my fancy new hardware, I'm also getting a new name: MirahezeBot. You can get help in #miraheze-bots and count down via https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20200703T22&p0=136&msg=MirahezeBot&font=slab&csz=1 [15:59:08] RhinosF1: Announce complete. [15:59:09] [ Launch Countdown - Countdown to Jul 3, 2020 10:00 pm in London, England ] - www.timeanddate.com [20:21:19] I'm here to report this anonymous user named 50.5.139.167, because he shows extremely intimidating behavior/harassment and is very controlling and he lies about other Miraheze users. https://ucfssb.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/50.5.139.167 https://lcfssb.miraheze.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/50.5.139.167 [20:21:20] [ User contributions for 50.5.139.167 - Unlikely Characters for Super Smash Bros.

[20:26:29] He also acts like he runs the place, along with constantly targeting and telling lies about me, so can you please ban uim? [20:27:49] @Void ^ [20:30:37] Board meeting ongoing, no time at the moment [20:32:15] oh yeah sorry i forgot :) [20:33:20] So, can you guys do womething about him? [20:33:55] Once someone with GS is around they will [20:57:13] Also, I would indefinitely block him since he does it nonstop.

If so, you can locally rangeblock IPs. Blocking 50.5.139.* should [21:16:57] have minimal impacts. [21:16:58] [ User contributions for 50.5.139.167 - Unlikely Characters for Super Smash Bros.

[21:28:35] I'm notan admin on either wiki. [21:36:57] > I'm notan admin on either wiki. @Inkster Ah, darn. Any admins available at [[Special:ActiveAdmins]] on each wiki? If so, you could ask them for a local rangeblock of that IP. [21:37:13] The only admin on both wikis left. [21:37:22] So, there's basically no active admins. [21:37:55] @Stewards @CVT [21:37:58] Oh, that's problematic. We need to revise the Dormancy Policy when the wiki is active but there are no active admins otherwise we'll have wikis as perpetual wards of Miraheze stewards, in effect. [21:38:25] A new admin can be appointed if there is a local election [21:38:35] There are no active admins there. [21:39:53] What > A new admin can be appointed if there is a local election @Void What if there are local policies that expressly prohibit that, though? Nothing in the global policy allows local policy to be usurped. I very much doubt there's a local prohibition in this case, though. In fact, I doubt there's much in the way of a local policy, so a local election is probably the way to go. 😉 [21:40:17] They cant prohibit new admins being appointed afaik per dormancy policy [21:40:50] > There are no active admins there. @Inkster @Void is saying that if you guys organize a local election to appoint a new local admin or bureaucrat, you can then go to SN and ask for a steward to review if there's been no action by the local bureaucrat, in line with local policies. [21:41:08] Well, typically global policy and community consensus overrides all local policies, and if no once is around to enforce it, then it doesn't count anyway. [21:42:18] Global policy always overrules local that isnt up for debate [21:42:25] > They cant prohibit new admins being appointed afaik per dormancy policy @Zppix That's not my read of it. But yeah, if no one is around to enforce, then yes I think dormancy or other global policy allows Stewards to step in. My concern is if I had an active wiki, with active admins on the wiki but not necessary an active founder, they couldn't effectively usurp my rights from me. [21:43:29] but I don't think they can...as long as at least one admin or bureaucrat was still available on the wiki. In this case, it sounds like that's what needs to happen...since there's no local admins. [21:44:12] > @Stewards @CVT @Zppix Thanks. Also, you should re-run for Global Sysop. You had 90% support, but were 1 measly vote shy of passing. If the vote had been open for a few more days, you would've passed. 😉 [21:44:59] I am actually in process of doing it [21:45:10] > I am actually in process of doing it @Zppix Good. 🙂 [21:48:59] And done [21:49:05] @Inkster Con27 is the bureaucrat on the wiki and is active today, so you'll have to ask him to be an admin. [21:49:19] He announced that he peft. [21:49:22] Stewards can't usurp him unless he didn't act on an election result. [21:49:34] Well, that could be a rage quit. [21:49:42] He may cool off and come back in a few days. [21:49:44] Plus, the anonymous user manipulated him into thinking that I'm a bad person. [21:50:56] Yeah. [21:52:08] Hopefully he comes back in a few weeks. Give it a month. If he doesn't, then run for admin/bureaucrat and ask a steward to close it. In the mean time, I think the wiki can be managed effectively from the trolls and vandals by @Reception123 as GS and @Void as Steward. [21:52:58] I don't blame him for that blog post, to be honest. I'm planning a wiki on high interest savings accounts, GICs, and personal finance type stuff. Nothing that will cause drama. 😛 [21:53:03] (Hopefully.) [22:31:39] Well, the only admin there said that he's not coming back. [23:34:22] > Well, the only admin there said that he's not coming back. @Inkster Yeah, I saw that...I personally think you should try using [[Special:EmailUser]] and e-mailing him to reconsider. If you explain things, especially after things calm down, he may reconsider, or he may even say, "If you want to take it over, I'll make you a bureaucrat," thus bypassing your need for steward involvement. [23:34:34] You might win a lot of favour with him for reaching out. [23:37:58] I'm blocked on one of the wikis.
